Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: Metal Slug

Sony has announced their plans for this year’s Spring Fever PlayStation Store event. The eight-week-long promo will feature additional discounts for PS Plus members and general discounts for everyone. While some of the bigger franchises will be included in the sale, such as Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, and God of War, the new titles, set to launch one per week, are especially interesting. Some of the highlights are the PS4 version of Jamestown+, with four-player support, and several cross-buy titles, including Helldivers, Metal Slug 3, and Shovel Knight. The full list of titles and release dates is available below.

PC gamers itching for an action-platforming fix can now pre-order Metal Slug 3 on Steam. SNK Playmore plans on releasing the final version later this month, but for now, early buyers can purchase the game for 25% off at $5.99. The PC version includes Arcade Mode, Mission Mode for replaying completed arcade missions, Multiplayer with support for online co-op via Steam, and an optional auto-fire mode.
